To Do Before School Starts

I have had a to do list going since I found out I officially had the job. Last night I found this linky party and decided to link up. I am hoping to find lots of other cool teacher blogs while participating.

I'm sure this is NOT an exhaustive list and will likely continue to add to it, but here goes:

1. write a student letter.
2. create a rules poster
3. create a sub folder
4. create a personal drawer for items like tampons, change, chapstick, etc.
5. create a NO homework binder
6. create a pencil poster like this one
7. create this laws of writing poster
8. plan out curriculum for the year, a loose timeline
9. organize materials into binders
10. create labels for the binders
11. make this paper sorter
12. create seating chart and cards to assign it to students
13. buy some fabric for bulletin boards and to cover front of desk

After writing your post with your "to do list"(don't forget to include the linky party button on your blog post so others can check your post out)link up here.
